Beautiful Lake Tahoe.

The Happy couple.Here are some pictures from my niece Carrie's small wedding in Lake Tahoe last weekend. I was not there since they opted just for parents and siblings in a private ceremony. I think the setting is lovely.
This is the couple who will receive the last family quilt I showed you. It came back from the quilter with very nice stipple star quilting and it looks great. Time to get the binding sewn on and hand it off to those who are finishing the hand work (thankfully not me.) I am giving a wedding shower for them on Sept 14th and we will present it to them at that time. There will also be a big party for family and friends in October at her parents' home.
It has been a busy week at work. Campus is crowded with returning students and it always feels like a shock after the peace of summer. In the evening I have been gradually changing my decor from "summer" to "fall", even though it has been hotter than heck and there is nothing fall like in the atmosphere. I do enjoy the decorating rituals though.
It's also time to change the flowerbeds and remove the spent annuals. This weekend we will scout the nurseries and garden stores to see if there are any mums to plant yet. Time for fall color!

I love your custom of the family quilt for each newly-wed couple. In my gang, it would strictly be a "Jane Ann" quilt, so I guess I won't try to establish this tradition.
Sounds like there's a lot going on in your life these days. Don't work too hard.
Lovely photos - of course they will love the quilt!! (Just discovered your blog and am enjoying it -- will be back often!!)
Lovely wedding! How nice that they will get a family quilt.
